In my project, i have a need to authenticate USERS from data base tables. To acheve this i defined SQL Authenticator, inside the weblogic admin console.But, problem is after this, when i login to EM console of SOA, then, in the home page, it is showing all deployments as DOWN sate, including SOA-INFRA. But, i am able to deploy BPEL project and execute it normally. Why EM console is showing all deployments and soa-infra as down?.

Any solution to the above problem?. Once configured the SQL Authenticator, then if i login into the EM console, inside the home page, it shows that all the deployments are DOWN. And when i clicked on below path it is showing the following error message.

soa-infra --> SOA Administration --> BPEL Properties

"Configuration settings are unavailable because /Farm_base_domain/base_domain/AdminServer/soa-infra is down."

Really wonder, i found the solution. This is the problem with order of Authentication provider. If i put the "SQL Authenticator" in the top of the order as the first item in the list, then i am facing the above error in EM console. Now, i re-ordered the "SQL Authenticator" and keep it last in the list. Now, SOA EM console is working fine. I really do not understand, what is the significance of the order of Authentication provider.
